  • Rest assured the only combat these men will see is via drone surveillance feeds from behind a desk.

    I can’t help but worry though, that in addition to all the concerns about surveillance and privacy, Foundry/the megadatabase being created on all Americans could be used in some pretty horrific ways against individuals that speak out against our new leaders, or individuals that vaguely resemble somebody that spoke out against our elite technologists.

    How Israel Uses AI in Gaza—And What It Might Mean for the Future of Warfare

    A program known as “The Gospel” generates suggestions for buildings and structures militants may be operating in. “Lavender” is programmed to identify suspected members of Hamas and other armed groups for assassination, from commanders all the way down to foot soldiers. “Where’s Daddy?” reportedly follows their movements by tracking their phones in order to target them—often to their homes, where their presence is regarded as confirmation of their identity. The air strike that follows might kill everyone in the target’s family, if not everyone in the apartment building.

    Abraham, whose report relies on conversations with six Israeli intelligence officers with first-hand experience in Gaza operations after Oct. 7, quoted targeting officers as saying they found themselves deferring to the Lavender program, despite knowing that it produces incorrect targeting suggestions in roughly 10% of cases.















  • Ok I’ll just come out and say this, I think it would be easy for a certain corrupt individual to create a false flag drone attack from a “foreign adversary” in order to boost patriotic morale and gain the support necessary to drag a certain country into a war he has repeatedly and very publicly announced he does not want to be involved in despite all evidence to the contrary.

    Especially given that corrupt individual has dismantled several safety measures and regulations and eliminated positions of individuals who are trained to keep something like this from happening.

    If you look at the amount of damage done by the Beeper attacks a few years ago, you really don’t need a gigantic war drone to cause a catastrophe in certain conditions.

    I know it sounds paranoid AF, but I find it especially odd that same individual is trying to shut down the only agency that would thoroughly investigate an industrial chemical explosion if one were to occur. https://grist.org/energy/trump-quietly-shutters-the-only-federal-agency-that-investigates-industrial-chemical-explosions/



  • Exactly, it’s a modern day trojan horse. It seems to be fairly easy to then potentially pin the attack on just about anyone using shell companies for shipment. Especially with the deregulation and removal of so many safety and security positions over the last several months.

    I was reading a little about the beeper attacks the and I think even now there is still some uncertainty about which company actually worked with the Mossad to manufacture the batteries that contained the explosive.

    The only reason I even bring that up, is that there were so many steps involving so many different groups of legitimate manufacturing companies as well as shell companies to ship the beepers. Some of the beepers were even taken apart and inspected before being distributed as a security measure, but they had used such a small amount of explosive fuel within the batteries, that it was completely missed.



  • I mean, if only anyone could see the obvious bullshit we’re headed into.

    There’s a lot of money to be made during times of war.

    Unfortunately the people that are pushing us in that direction are some very short sighted individuals that genuinely believe that once their actions have driven humans to the brink of extinction, they’ll still be perfectly content in an underground bunker with shitty AI robots that break a month or so in, and all the stockpiled vacuum sealed resources they can hoard. Or alternatively, dying while attempting to colonize mars.

    That’s who humanity will be relying to continue our legacy. The kind of person that thinks they are chosen elite, and there is nothing they cannot achieve. All bc they climbed mount Everest once while paying a team of Sherpas to risk their own lives and do everything for them.
